TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: i

Be it known that I, W. S. RooNEY, of' Albany, in the county ot Albany,and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Pitcher; and Ido hereby'declare that' the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part ot' this specification.

The presentinvention relates to a pitcher more especially designed forsirups, molasses, 36e., and for house. hold and' dining purposes; whichpitcher is so constructed at its nozzle or spout as to prevent alldrippings, after liquid has been poured therefrom, from running down theoutside of the pitcher, and to convey them back into the body orreservoir of the pitcher. In the accompanying plate of drawings myimproved pitcher is illustratedi l Figure 1 being a central verticalsection of, the same, and

Figure 2 a planor top view, with the cover or lid raised or swung back.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A, in the drawings, represents the body or reservoir portion of thepitcher, which in shape and design may be changed at pleasure, accordingas lmay be desired or found mos-t suitable; B, the handle to the body A,and C the nozzle or spout thereto, through which the sirup or otherliquid passes or is poured from the vessel. This spout or nozzle C iswithin the vessel or pitcher A, when its lid is closed, and in lieu ofbeing attached to or forming a. part of the upper edge a to thereservoir A, it is attached to or'forrned as a part of a plate or shelf.D, that is fastened to 'the vessel A in an inward inclined position, soas to allow whatever liquid may drip or fall thereon from the spout topass back into the receptacle A, as in the use ofthe pitcher the liquidcontained init is poured therefrom.

I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- The constructionand arrangement of the semicircular plate D, secured to oneside of thepitcher A, in an inward inclined position, and provided at its centreand lower edge with the inclined spout C, as herein setforth for thepurpose specified.

The above specification of my invention signed by me' this 25th day ofJune, 1867.

W. S. ROONEY.
